As his interests turned toward helping individuals, Frank pursued a master’s degree in Integral Counseling Psychology and became licensed as a marriage and family therapist with a practice in Carmel and San Francisco for over twenty years. He earned a doctorate in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). His groundbreaking research profiled the mindset and behavior of individuals who integrate their spiritual aspirations with their professional lives.

The Enneagram has been integral to Frank’s work since 1989. With the Enneagram teachings as a tool, Frank has helped therapy clients, business clients, and members of various organizations and businesses discover and develop their hidden strengths, embrace their similarities and differences, and enrich their personal and professional relationships. In 2007 he began offering introductory Enneagram classes as well as Enneagram study groups to clients, therapists, and the staff and faculty of several independent schools on the West Coast.

Frank currently lives in Jacksonville, Oregon, where he is involved in community organizations such as the Southern Oregon Friends of Hospice and the Britt Music and Arts Festival. His creative projects include writing poetry, which he posts alongside photographs by his partner, Ken Gregg, for passersby to see in the front windows of the 1850s former saloon where they reside.
